Kevin Nolan happy with Notts County for claiming point in "battle" with Lincoln City

Kevin Nolan has praised his Notts County players for having come through their "battle" with Lincoln City in possession of a point.

The Magpies played out a 2-2 draw against the Imps at Sincil Bank on Saturday.

Jon Stead opened the scoring and Jorge Grant fired home the equaliser after Lee Frecklington and Matt Green had put the hosts back ahead.

“The lads were absolutely fantastic,” Nolan told the official Notts site after the League Two encounter. “It was a battle and they stuck in there.

"We couldn’t get going with our fluidity today but these lads have got camaraderie, togetherness and determination to come away with a very good and respectable point.

“When you come away to places like Lincoln you are going to be put under pressure and they are going to put balls into the box from all directions.

"You have to make sure you are up for the battle and we were – we more than matched them and handled everything they threw at us.

“It’s another fantastic result and we’re looking forward to another big game next weekend against Exeter.”
